It WAS a Super Moon

Yesterday we heard on the news that there was to be a Super Moon last night, a moon that would be 30% bigger and brighter than normal because it is at its closest to earth for the month. Because it was a clear day, and sure to be a clear evening, we set our clocks so as not to miss it!

It was indeed super bright, so bright it actually made the sky look grey rather than black. Unfortunately we don’t have a camera that shows the mountains just below the moon.

On first zooming, this is the picture we could get:

Then we zoomed in as far as we could:

Can you see the expression on Old Man Moon’s face? (Sometimes I can and sometimes I can’t)
